." . . captures truths that we intuitively know, but haven't the
training and background to articulate and illustrate as fully as is
done in this fine work."--Mitch Horowitz, Exectutive Editor at
Tarcher/Penguin
"This is a significant and important book that expresses the
perennial wisdom that has been the basis of covert mystery school
teachings throughout the ages. It is most pertinent for society at
large as well as all students of the Arts and Architecture who are
searching for the knowledge, understanding, and meaning of Plato's
concepts of Goodness, Beauty, and Truth."--Thomas Saunders, Fellow
of the Royal Institute of British Architects and author of The
Broiled Frog
There are a few books that everyone should read, regardless of
their discipline or degree of interest in esotericism--[This book]
is one of them. . . . End the madness of modernity. Buy this book,
give it away to everyone you know, and hope, pray, that its seeds
will take root, and one day we can begin to build a world that
reflects our vision of heaven as did our ancestors.--Mark Stavish,
Institute for Hermetic Studies, 1/15/07
"Herbert Bangs brings extraordinary insights into his scholarly yet
impassioned exploration of sacred architecture. . . . THE RETURN OF
SACRED ARCHITECTURE is a clarion call for adopting a more intuitive
approach to design and a better appreciation for the sources of
divine inspiration. I give this book my highest
recommendation."--Cynthia Larsen, RealityShifters.com, April
2007
"The thesis is well presented, enhanced by numerous illustrations
and examples and enlivened by personal glimpses of leading
designers and architects. Such clear-sighted candor and spiritual
solutions are overdue, refreshing, and very encouraging."--Light of
Consciousness, Summer 2008
." . . an excellent and precisely timed work that is encompassing,
mature, and presented not only with sound reasoning but depth of
feeling."--Robert Lawlor, author of Sacred Geometry
"This book deserves to be on every architect's bookshelf. It
demonstrates that much of modern architecture has become divorced
from the principles of proportion used by almost all important
buildings in historical times."--Robin Heath, author of Sun, Moon,
and Stonehenge
"A superb clarion call for a restoration of beauty, integrity, and
above all, sanity in modern architecture."--Richard Smoley, author
of Forbidden Faith
"This brave and perceptive work explores the debacle of modern
architecture and points the way to a healthier new architecture,
based on proportion and sacred principles, which reveres ecology
and the cosmos."--A. T. Mann, author of Sacred Architecture
